There are 'Hire Hauck' threads I haven't read yet.

The lbs are very talented but poorly coached, and it's obvious. Watching them play zone defense is painful. They look lost, and don't sense when a receiver has entered their zones. I watched 2-3 plays on one drive where strahm was in the right place, but was burned by a receiver who got behind him

I can't disagree. Strahm had a lot of tackles, but his pass coverage was abysmal. He seems completely out of his element in pass coverage. Something needs to change their folks.
The wheel route TD was Banks not Strahm. And if you watched any of the first three games, Vika was completely overmatched in pass coverage. I'm sorry but Vika isn't even CLOSE to what Strahm can do on the field right now. He'll get there, but not this season.

But, the staff as it exists TODAY is less then stellar. Extension or not - Stitt has to make changes IMO. I'd start with replacing 2 on the defensive side of the ball.
Agreed, unless we see significant improvement between now and the end of the year. 5 games to show us what he's got/learned. I assume the other one you're talking about is the ST coach?

CDAGRIZ said:By way of update, I'm simply floored by the outpouring of support from Purple Mermaid Nation in these times. My entire staff thanks you. Yes, the coaches read these forums. While I can't disagree with anything that has been posted, nor compare to Ms. Hauck and Nana Delaney (who righted the ship), I will say that our girls will be back to work at Wednesday's practice going hard for 45 minutes to get better. Those who attended the PTA meeting tonight were privy to our practice and game plans. We've seen some very positive things in the last two weeks, and we will continue to build what we believe will be a very successful season.
Quick Kicks - Purple Mermaids Excel On and Off the Pitch
--Our starting forward received a perfect score on her Letters and Numbers (LN) test this Monday at Kindergarten. She received a "Super You" from the administration for excellence in academics.
--Our right midfielder tried some calamari for the first time on Sunday at the Lazy Dog Cafe. Her Parents were reportedly thrilled that she was brave enough to try new foods. She got popcorn at home and got to stay up until 8:30.
--Our four-year-old reserve striker was a good listener at free play time, and got to go to the prestigious Treasure Chest at preschool, where she acquired a new Shimmer and Shine genie toy. She's definitely one to watch for.
Injury Report
--P-Merm fans will breathe a sigh of relief to learn that Desirae's foot ouchie from last week's game was a fake-out. She admitted she saw her younger sister getting to watch Peppa Pig on the sidelines from her mom's phone and, understandably, wanted a piece of the action. Precautionary x-rays were negative. I've instituted a No Phone policy at practices and games to curb such occurrences.
Big game this Saturday. Our players and staff can feel your support.

Yeah, good luck with that, Ursa. The fanboys have settled for mediocrity in the program and are now content to award participation trophies. Meanwhile, CDA is settling for players that give less than 110%. And how many players on the roster are Montana kids? How many are from strong families? That's what I thought.
Mavman said:Is it true the merms have already won more games then last year, playing better defense and closing in on post season however some parents still want the coach out?? heard their penalty kicks are much better also!
Get back to me when he wins a big game. If we win at MSU and a game in the playoffs i will give it due credit.b_f_c_99 said:You all know who you are, don’t make me sift through the game thread to round you all up! You have been wishing for the staff and team to fail, and you know it, I know it, everyone on here knows it. So just come forward and say, Go Griz!

hm.grwn.grizfan said:I have griped and will continue to gripe about defense. I said in the other thread that it's unfortunate for the offense that their great showing today is overshadowed to some extent by the defensive ineptitude on display every Saturday. It's nice that the defense got a couple of key stops at important points in the game, but still gave up over 500yds and 30 points. The team can't count on out scoring everyone
